Where you see ‘(for Instagram)’ is for suggested app names that can go either way in the Store, so judge them either as a standalone or in full.

Voting will only be open for 4 hours and ends promptly at 1AM ET—so get your vote in early! You can of course follow the vote results as they come in by refreshing and we’ll announce a winner later on tonight (assuming we’re still awake).

To everyone who suggested an app name: thank you for participating! To those five who made it to the final round, congratulations! We’ll of course reveal the winner, who gets their name in the app and a $50 gift-certificate to our Store in a follow up post. Good luck!

If on your Windows Phone, simply head to m.wpcentral.com in IE to vote mobile!

Vote Now: Here are the 5 choices for the new Itsdagram name!

Pages

It's OK if you like Spry among those 5 and that's the same one Daniel picked, but honestly, from there to say that people should support it just because it's the one Daniel picked on behalf of WPCentral...I mean...

I really tried to get my comment just before time ran out but couldn't. I want to suggest 'Filtergram' or 'Filtagram' but then couldn't. Anyway, 'Instance' is good too but it can be 'Instance For Instagram' instead. Just saying.

Gah, missed the voting cut-off. Would've preferred Pseudogram, if only for my love of the prefix. This was my second choice. I'm not a user of the service, but best of luck to the developer. Hopefully this nullifies any C&D's sent your way. ;(

Instance is cool, though you dont make a straight connection. Pseudogram is bold and sarcastic (like hackagram, clonegram or fakegram). -guys suggested Microgram how cool is that?-. Please add Aviary filters!

I don't like any of them, but I think that "Instance" is especially bad. Regardless, I'm not going to use this, so it doesn't affect me. I'll still just say that while I don't care abotu the app, I appreciate the work of the developers nonetheless, as they are offering a popular application's functions to the platform in a positive manner.

I personally did like Spry as I said above(Sounds cooul) but at the same time the app name doesn't fit the app in a way so I went on a voted for Instance. I was going to vote for Spry just because even if it wasn't going to win, I wanted to support the name but i'd hate for pseudogram to pull a miracle out and win so i just voted for instance :D

None of these names really make it apparent that they're instagram clients (unless it will say "for instagram" after it). People coming from other platforms will be looking for instagram and this doesn't make it obvious that they're instagram clients just from the titles.

The two best IMHO are "Spry" and "Instance". I voted Spry because this app is bad enough to stand on its own and the name itself sets it apart but the leading contender Instance would be exceptional. Those other choices are just flat wrong. I don't even know how Pseudogram made the final cut. Pseudo means assumed, bogus, contrived, factitious, fake, forced, mockery, phony, pretend, some bs, a sham, simulated and straight up UNNATURAL. And this app is NONE of that.

I actually liked instagraham, but now I see why it couldn't have been considered...because it sounds the same as instagram, and itsdagram could easily sound the same as well. Though these r pretty ok names I just feel like none of them "fit"... Sorry. :(

I said "Direct Action Shot" because it says so much about the current political state of WP, and our app situation. It also refers to cameras, imaging, and Nokia's new focus on getting great action shots.

It's OK if you like Spry among those 5 and that's the same one Daniel picked, but honestly, from there to say that people should support it just because it's the one Daniel picked on behalf of WPCentral...I mean...
That was the point I was making. Not questioning your taste, rather you incitement ;)

"we think less emphasis on ‘Gram in the name would be better ourselves"
Almost half of your picks contained "Gram".
Sorry, Contest are fun when the contest holders aren't deceptive and take it seriously especially when there's a prize.

I like Spry. Spry can catch on. "Where'd you get that?" "On Spry, for Instagram! You don't have it? You can get it on WP man...it's really cool."

Also, when people hear "...for Instagram" they autmatically know 1) A function of the app, 2) They autmatically link it to Instagram, which is great and 3) The developers can eventually make a spinoff app/filter for Instagram across all platforms, pushing WP recognition even further. Also, when people hear "Pseudogram" or anything ending in "gram" they'd automatically think it's a knock-off of Instagram, and that's not going to help our platform.
I arrived to the initial naming thread an hour too late. I'd have love to submit:
PhotoHub for Instagram
Pickr for Instagram
Flicksta for Instagram
Polygram for Instagram
LiveView for Instagram
Sigh, I'm sure Rubino and Gary would have loved some of those names.

You know clbarker10, you don't have to participate here at all. You have no evidence for us being dishonest here (nor no motivation) for it. We could have let Daniel Gary just name the app with zero input from the community.

So you personally don't like the names we and the developer of the app chose. Give me one good reason why I should care?

I'm Simply suggesting that if you hold contest they should be in the best interest of your viewers. Look at the results from the spring into tegra contest..and then here...spry? I am saying that if you aren't going to take it seriously then why bother. Just pick a name yourself. A guy holding up a kids tablet with a frowny face won the tegra competition...That competition was to be elaborate and creative. How creative was the final decision? A guy holding a kid's tablet...Anyone could have taken that picture. "Hi, my name is joe and i need a Windows RT tablet because i'm tired of using my son's leap frog tablet (whatever its called)." And that was the top pick? It specifically said to post "Why you deserve a Windows RT or Vivo Tab". I had to delay college just because I couldn't afford a tablet at the time and I took valuable time and effort to share my elaborate story yet i feel it was overlooked and not considered due to some guy holding a kid's tablet not even explaining WHY he needs an RT. That was part of the contest...to explain why, and the contest winner never did! There's you're proof, go look it up on here I'm not linking it.
I'm not saying I should have won this competition. No. One of your top picks was "Live Gram" and you posted that "Gram" was not what you were looking for. My choice was "Live Share" and even though it wasn't the best name here (Instance was and deserves the win) my choice was, according to your preferences in the previous post, better than "Live gram" Because "Live Share" did not contain gram but contained something other which you recommended. Do you see what I'm talking about?
I'm merely saying that if contest are given they need to be more carefully looked at and taken more seriously. There are people on this website like me who can barely pay their car insurance and cell phone bills every month yet when an opportunity arises to actually put forth effort in hopes of winning something for a change, Joe, in his luxury home takes a goofy picture or throws out this name that doesn't even make sense and he's a lucky winner.
There are so many people that appreciate the support and community on WP Central so the least you could do is take us more seriously. Thank you
Nothing personal, your system is flawed thats all.

I have to say, I almost made it. I personally think my choice "Live Share" sounds much better than "Live Gram" but hey... there's a company named Google so I rest my case.
Yes I'm bitter and broke. I voted for Instance because it the only name up there that should have beat mine.

My was better Daniel photofeed and you can eventually turn into a windows phone instragam product when they build up enough users....using gram is just copying.....photofeed makes sense consider it up for a vote

Instance sounds good. Like someone said earlier, the original was awesome. Sucks they're making you change it. Hope the new name will be as catchy. Good work on the app btw. But in all seriousness I use WPC every day and you guys are awesome for the constant flow of content you bring on here. Sorry for the ass kissing. Well deserved though.
